BURNSIDE COUNCIL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (15:02): My question is again to the Attorney-General. Can the Attorney-General confirm that the minister for local government acted alone and without taking advice from him or anyone else in deciding to close down the Burnside council inquiry?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Urban Development, Planning and the City of Adelaide, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Food Marketing) (15:02): I thank the honourable member for her question. As fond as I am of the minister for local government, I do not accompany him throughout the day and so—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.R. RAU: —as enchanting as it would have been for me to have accompanied him all the time and been able to answer your question, I can't.
